An old couple was a little worried about their son who was still living with them and who was still unable to decide about his future career.
They decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a Bible, and a bottle of whisky, and put them on the dining table. They placed a note saying they were not home, and hid in a nearby closet.
The father's plan was: "If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he takes the Bible, he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whisky, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So, the parents waited nervously until they saw their son arrive.
The son, after seeing the note they had left, took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the Bible, flicked through it, and took it.
Then he grabbed the bottle, opened it and took a whiff to get assured of the quality.
Then he left for his room, carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Damn. Our son is going to be a politician!"
